Argh! Sorry for posting in the wrong forum Fable, i should have looked around first...
What i was suggesting was that we play a game right here on the GB forums. It will be more fiction and character relations, rather than dice throwing and monster swatting, since we aren't around a table in the same room
Crenshinibon's idea is virtually the same as mine, and to those who still don't quite understand what we (just supposing, sorry if you do have something different in mind Crensh) would like to do it like that:
Each participating forum member creates a character and posts their stats and background infro. For example, i will play and write through the point of view of a Chaotic Good Elven Male Kensai named Sator with 16 str 18 dex 14 con 14 int 16 wis 18 cha (These stats are just an example).
We start the adventure at a location we know from the games (depending if we want to follow the BG storyline or not) or just wherever we want on Faerun.. We get a DM do guide us trough the adventure and we have fun
The better the writing skills and the bigger the imagination of the players, the better the game will turn out. We use the D&D rules just as a guide to what we can and can't do. This will be a challenge for me since i would really like to write fantasy in English some day, but i fear my skills aren't good enough yet. I do some writing in my native language, but that's off topic.
So, what I'm saying is that we do a PnP game, but we just do it trough writing "acts" as messages in the forums. Example:
Act:
Sator sat closer to the fire and unsheathed his right sword with a smooth sound. He fumbled trough his gear to find a sharpening stone and slowly started honing the fine steel edge. Crenshinibon raised his eyes and regarded the blade with a slight note of amusement in his eyes, but said nothing. Sator knew that the power the Sorcerer wielded was immense, but nothing came close to what he bore witness this day.
While the whole group was struggling to hold their own against the huge fire giant and is minions, the socrecer managed to stay completely out of the fray, just to the side of a huge pillar and started casting a spell he had just acquired.
Sator shuddered involuntary at the memory and focused on the sharpening of his katana. He was no coward, but a man that could stop the Time was just too powerful to be trusted.....
And so on
You get the picture
If anyone's interested please join in! We post the stats of our respected characters, we appoint a wise DM and we adventure on! I've tried this before, trust me it's tons of fun
EDIT: It seems people are doing this already, here's an example:
